Lady Seahawks win region in tiebreaker with SJ, NMB

The Myrtle Beach High girls softball team captured the region championship for the first time under head coach Meredith Jiorle, but it didn’t come easily.

After rivals St. James and North Myrtle Beach all aettled for series splits this season, the tiebreaker for the No. 1 seed was awarded to the Lady Seahawks (15-4 overall, 6-2 Region 7-4A).

The three-way tiebreaker was based on runs allowed. St. James was awarded the No. 2 seed and a first-round home playoff game, while North Myrtle Beach took the No. 3 seed and will open the postseason on the road. Their first-round opponents have yet to be determined.
